FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0-beta3"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta3-b84)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta3-b84, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Windows NT Ver 4.0 SP 6



A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When using the new looging feature, and appending to a XML-
Logfile, the Header and Footer gets written each time the
file is reopened.
This causes a not well formed error.
When appending, records must be merged.

Just compile the testcase and execute. A
new XML Logfile gets created called 'logfile.xml'.
Open the logfile and check for the 2 entries.
Everything is OK.
Execute the Testcase a second time. Because the 'append-flag' is set to 'true', the old 'logfile.xml' doesn't
get deleted, all new entries get appended. when you
open the 'logfile.xml' now, and check for well-
formedness, you will receive an error, because the xml
file isn't well formed anymore. Each time you start the
TestCase, a whole XML-File (including Header and
Footer) is appended to the old File.
The right way this must be done, is to merge the new
entries between the </record> tag of the last entry and
the </log> tag.

Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" standalone="no"?
>
<!DOCTYPE log SYSTEM "logger.dtd">
<log>
<record>
  <date>2002-01-09T09:26:31</date>
  <millis>1010564791613</millis>
  <sequence>0</sequence>
  <logger>build.generate.antxml</logger>
  <level>FINE</level>
  <class>Test</class>
  <method>main</method>
  <thread>10</thread>
  <message>.....message.......</message>
</record>
</log>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" standalone="no"?
>
<!DOCTYPE log SYSTEM "logger.dtd">
<log>
<record>
  <date>2002-01-09T09:26:36</date>
  <millis>1010564796711</millis>
  <sequence>0</sequence>
  <logger>build.generate.antxml</logger>
  <level>FINE</level>
  <class>Test</class>
  <method>main</method>
  <thread>10</thread>
  <message>.....message.....</message>
</record>
</log>


This bug can be reproduced always.
